What are the lamest, Dullest, and Worst Non-Muppet segments?

[mr3urious]

I have yet to see a GOOD Healthy Food segment that doesn't use muppets.

I'd say the best ones are this...

and this.

I have to admit, the last one was pretty effective at making me crave fruit, even as a kid!

Traction Jackson

So lame

I agree that they are all pretty dull, except for "Doggone Jealous Blues".

yea traction jackson was horrible and lame at the same time

Am I the only one that thought Traction Jackson was alright? I mean, he actually had some sort of personality, and they addressed the fact he was in a wheel chair without the same kid gloves as they did with that actual human character years ago. Plus, I really liked that dog.

How about those scenes with the dogs, but a human would be doing their hands, and they speak in dull, boring voices? I once watched a whole movie like that (The Hardly Boys in Hardly Gold or something like that) and it was long and boring and a total waste of money, brains, and time.

Anyway, the one I liked the least? I'd have to pick James Earl Jones doing the alphabet. Don't get me wrong, Mr. Jones is a terrific actor, but that segment just goes on too long.

I agree with you about James Earl Jones doing the alphabet.On the one hand it takes a long time.But on the other hand,possibly he says it for a long time for the letters to sink into the kids' heads.
Also while we're on the subject of JEJ doing things on Sesame Street,what was the deal with him saying numbers 1-10 & suddenly ducking out of the way after 10? It looked like he was avoiding getting hit by something. (The Count's thunder & lightning perhaps? ) All kidding aside I'm sure that kids got creeped out about that.

I think there's a song/clip with different kinds of vegetables flying around and spinning on a purple background or something... weird. All the Healthy Food stuff is getting to be a little much, in my opinion. "I Eat the Colors of the Rainbow" is particularly irritating, maybe it's the kids' voice?

Oh and as a kid, those dogs in clothes with human hands used to scare the heck out of me, now I just think they're horrible. They don't teach anything, and they're not funny.

 

[Gelfling Girl]

They don't teach anything, and they're not funny.

Yes, they just "talk" in boring dry voices.

Ah, the William Wegman segments? To fully appreciate those, I guess you have to be a fan of his work. I saw a bunch of his old experimental videos years and years ago... and lemme tell you... they really give you an appreciation of what he's doing there... that, and you'll know that he's totally weird.

I still say the Healthy Food stuff was their PR department trying to save face for the whole Corporate McDonald's Sponsorship stuff... They would NOT have to drill that stuff into kids' heads that hard otherwise...
